UP
^GOSSIP OF;
STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS
Secretary Charlie Korthen i« not a
beirtlees man. He feels for his fel
low man. He can even do noble and
onielflsh things.
For some days prior to last Wednes
day the big bottle of Llthia water uc-
cuitomed to stand on his desk td tba
left of the president was missing.
Members floated up and after trying
the faucet and finding a drouth, went
awav. Brick Miller threatened to In
troduce a resolution to require the sec
retary to keep the necessary irrigating
aubstance on hand.
Thursday morning the bottle, filled
to the bursting point with cool, limpid
vjthlfl aqua, invited tho thirsty. By
nay of pnrentheslR it is stated that the
'cue to the members wns held Wednes
day afternoon. And the crowd about
that fount of coolness all during thr*
aesslon Thursday was about like a
watermelon cutting in Darktown. Aul
Secretary Northen smiled bcnlgnnnlly
upon them, and now and then took a
refreshing sip himself.
Senator McHenry, with accustomed
eloquence and vehemence, wns making
the senate rafters ring In advocating
his Western and Atlantic lease. The
senate hung breathless on his every
utterance.
Then one of tho porters ripped fhe
top off a crate of luscious peaches from
the experiment station. The ubiqui
tous pages moved on tho feast ns a
unit. Some senator way to the rear
caught sight of a big red-cheeked
peach half burled in the eager mouth
of a small boy.
“Indian peaches, by gosh." he ejacu
lated and mad© a rush. Others saw
the precipitate frontal attack, and
. watched curiously for the cause. They
»;a\r, hesitated and foil. In a moment
half the senate membership had moved
to get some of the loot. In a few
minutes more everybody was com
placently munching fruit.
After that, Senator McHenry's elo
quence fell on deaf ears.
The vote on the Williams bill to elect
the railroad commissioners by the peo
ple was on.
The author's name Is tho last on tho
roll call. Ho had spoken for the meas
ure. fought for It, and asserted that It
• was the crowning fifiory of his political
career.” The call of senators on tho
passage of the bill progressed to
“Senator Williams.”
No response.
“Senator Williams,” in a tone hoard
In the corridors.’
Deep silence answered.
"Senator Williams,'’ rumbled tho call.
Then Williams came out of his rev-
”Be It enacted that from and after
this date that all Methodist preachers
bo elected by the ‘dear people* without
reference to past or present or future
political affiliations.”
Somebody facetiously drafted the
nbove the other day, and sold he
thought It a good Idea for the senate
to pass it since the demand was to
elect everything and body by tho peo
pie.
Senator Copelan says that the 'cue
Wednesday didn't feaze him, but It ha
a bad effect on his watch. He came In
the senate chamber at ten minutes to
eleven Thursday morning, and was sur
prised to see everybody down to work.
"What you feljows meeting before 10
o’( lock for?” ho asked.
"Copelan, I’m surprised at you," said
Senator Wheatley. "Our regular hour
for meeting Is 10 o'clock and It Is now
near 11. Ain't you over that barbecue'
yet?”
"It’s oil the fault of my watch. It
played me a mean trick at an inop
portune moment."
The senate Isn’t talking any, but
nevertheless It Isn’t passing any house
bills except local measures, and most
»»f the senators have a personal Inter
est In such bills. And the lid’s going
to rtay down until the house gets good
and passes somo senate measures, they
assert.
speech
Mr. Smith, of Greene, didn't.
Possibly by Monday the members of
tho house and senate will get over the
effects of the barbecue.
As a presiding officer Mr. Butts, of
fJlynn is a howling success. It was ru
mored around the house Friday that
the gentleman from Brunswick hud
been practicing for the job and had
asked the speaker to give him one
chance before the senslon
It Is rumored that the military com
mittee of the senate has a sub-rosa
chapter In tho house.
Mr. Hose, of Upson, has a son in tho
house ns a page. He loBt the little fel-
low at the barbecue tho other clay, but
then the gentleman from Upson says
he was trying to keep up with Madison

MERCHANTS KICK
OFF SARATOGA LID
By Private Leased Wire.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 4.—Somebody
has kicked the lid off and some of tho
gambling houses which were closed by
order of Police Inspector King, are
doing business today. According to
the gossip of the sporting world the
Saratoga Business Men's league rais
ed such a storm over the closo clown
of the gambling houses that Senator
Brackett, who originally promulgated
the anti-gambling order, was forced to
rescind It. In tho meantime the sports
and merchants are shaking each other
by the hand in tho Joy of the big "do-
Inga" ahead.

Their Examination as to
Claims Takes Place
Sept. 27.
By Private* Leased Wire.
Now York, Aug. 4.—At the request
of Kellogg and Robb, counsel for
Greene and Gaynor. under conviction
for embezslemen In connection with
harbor Improvements at Savannah, Go.,
the attorney general of the United
States has fixed September 27 aa the
date for the examination by tho gov
emment of Green© and Gaynor In their
claims now pending against tho gov
ernment in the court of claims. The
examination will be held gt the prison
In Macon, Ga., where Greene and Gay
nor aro confined. *
"This is the action," said Mr. Kel
logg, "brought by the Atlantic Con
tracting Company, under which name
Greene and Gaynor did buslnr.**,
against the government to recover
damages for breach of the same con
tracts which formed the basis of the
charges on which they were recently
convicted at Savannah. Our clients
claim amounts to $350,000 actually
earned and certified by the government
officers In addition to over 9500,000 In
profits on work remaining to done."
LICENSE INSPECTORS
ARE AFTER SOLICITORS
License Inspectors Ewing and Hayes
are hot after the real estate solicitors.
In Atlanta there are many men in this
business and only comparatively few
have conformed to the ordinance which
reads:
"Heal estate solicitors connected
with offices of licensed real estate
agents and selling on commission,
■seb »10 annually."
Inspector Ewing said Friday that
cases would be made against any of
the solicitors who refused to pay the
license tax.
By W. O. CLEMENT.
Special to The Oaorglun.
Rome, Gn., Aug. 4.—As a sequel to
the report of the expert auditors, dis
closing the alleged shortage of the lati
Ilalsted Smith, former city clerk, ad
ditional charges are made against W.
R. Simmons, deputy marshal, and C. L.
King, city sexton, who held office dur
ing Smith's administration, alleging
that they were also short In their ac
counts.
Since the publication of his alleged
shortage, Simmons is said to lmvo
cleared himself by producing receipts
of moneys paid to Smith, which
amounts were charged to him by the
auditor's report.
Always Took Vouchors.
In speaking of the charges, Rlmmotis
said:
I never, all during ray term of of
fice as deputy marshal, paid a cent Into
the ciorlrs office Without taking a
voucher for It, and as for the charges
as to my shortage, I have receipts
which speak for themselves."
King Can Account for All.
Former City Sexton King, in speak
ing of the charges against him, said:
"As to the report of my alleged
shortage, I can account for every cent
received-by me and paid over to the
city clerk during my term of office.
As to the feeH I am reported to hav#
received for tho sale of lots and tho
digging of graves and having not made
proper returns, I will be able to dis
prove. It has been the custom for ne
groes to dig their own graves, at least.
It was during my term of office. The
records show* that during my adminis
tration there w’ere 206 lots sold to no-
groes at $4.10 per lot. In order to
obtain a deed for them the money had
to first be paid to tho city clerk."
Auditor's Report.
In J. Haltlwanger’s report to the
mayor and city council ho says, In
reference to tho books In the clerk’s
office:
We have had to deal with such ma
terial as we could gather. In the
clerk's office there Is no such entry
as a collection of taxes not on digest.
Every ono familiar with the collection
of taxes knows that there Is quite n
volume of money collected In this wav.
This entire sum Is a total loss to the
city. Had the stubs been obtainable
©vory dollar could have been easily
traced. Back of this period (1894)
there are not only no stubs, receipts
and checks, hut there are no digests.
The crude records attempted to be kept
are not a perfect chain, many of tne
books being missing."
Mr. flaltlwnnger mipplements his re
port with the statement that he can
prove every dollar of the shortage
named In his report.
Bond Is Worthless.
As several of tho original bondsmen
of the late Ilalsted Smith are either
dead or have loft the state, and as the
latter bond given by the United Staten
Fidelity and Guaranty Company In so
hedged about with conditions, compe
tent legal advisers of tho city maintain
that there con bo no recovery from
this surety.
This being true. It moans that the
total peculated sum shown by the aud
itor’s report of $34,636.60 Is a total
loss to the city, unless the municipal
corporation can legally recover the
amount of the valuation of tho Smith
estate. What the voJue of this estato
Is remains n problem, but it is supposed
to bo far below the amount of tho al
leged shortage.
Insurance Money Held.
The country residence of the late
Ilalsted Smith was destroyed by flro
thre© weeks ago, which was Insured
for $4,850. The executors nro trying
to collect this insurnneo, but the city
asks the court to restrain them from
doing so, which petition hns been tem
porarily' granted. If tho city can col
lect this Insurance it will bo that much
toward tho recovery on the shortage.
The city further alleges In Its po*
tltlon for Injunction that a large por«
tlon of the alleged shortage was used
to pay premiums upon the Insurance
on the life of tho lato Halsted Smith,
and that In view of this fact, tho city
is entitled to recover this insurance.
